Tooth extraction might sound daunting, but it’s more common than you might realize, especially in pediatric dentistry. There are various reasons why San Marcos Pediatric Dentistry might recommend removing one or more of your child’s teeth during treatment. For instance, a baby tooth with a misshapen or long root might need removal to allow space for the permanent tooth to come in properly. In other cases, a tooth might have an infection or require removal for orthodontic purposes.
Though the procedure is usually quick and well-tolerated, it’s important to discuss any concerns or preferences for sedation with Dr. Shafiei.
If you have any questions about why tooth extraction is necessary or about the extraction process itself, Dr. Shafiei is always ready to provide answers. Feel free to call our office or schedule an appointment – we’re here to assist you every step of the way!
